| Same-gender Couples Nurture Their Children And Each Other MORE AND BETTER Than Couples Of Opposite-gender Do. |
| Heterosexuals, married or unmarried partners, nurture their children and their relationship with each other. Homosexual couples, with their own or adopted children, also nurture their children and their relationship with each other. Both do well. Is there any difference in how well they do it. Support your opinion, please. |

The only reason this might be true is that same sex couples, for obvious reasons, have to go to a
lot more trouble, financially and socially to get a child than an average hetero couple. Therefore
there would be a sort of natural weeding out effect that would pair down the unfit couples. However
I would say that naturally there is no particular difference. |

I don't think it is a matter of which one loves their children more, just a matter of loving them
period. I think both do a good job [well depending on the person anways] and [should] support their
children through life. |

texttexttexttexttexttext i disagree:Two men cant educate
a child as well as a man and a woman, how could your daughter have advice from her dad or something
she is going through that his "dads" haven't. Its just plain nonsense, it goes the same for two
women trying to have a son |

Well there is one trump here that no one seems to notice. Homosexual couples have to go through
hell to get their children. So why would they go through all that crud just to be a bad parent... |

I think if anything gay people will love their children more. Because they can not take for granted
the children. They can't just have a baby so they treat it with love and as for the kids being made
fun of at school well one if people work together we can stop that and 2 it really just matters if
they have a loving home
Anyways i find gay people are nicer and not so judgemental anyhow |

There is only one way in which two gay parents cannot offer the proper support and environment that
children need: Children of gay parents tend to grow up in hostile environments.
But since that hostility is caused by rabid godbots spewing their hate, and not a fault of the gay
parents, the problem lies not in the parents but in the community around them.
There's an old, wise African saying: It takes a community to raise a child. Clearly those in the
community who hate the gay parents are failing the child, not the parents themselves. |

This is a tough one to argue because there are too many variables.
I read a study of how same-sex and opposite-sex couples fight with each other, and the data
indicated that the former are much more successful in not causing lasting damage to each other. The
reason was women know how to talk better to other women, and men to men.
You can extrapolate this to parenting. A same-sex couple that is more successful at conflict
resolution than a straight one will be better parents because the parents’ relationship is
arguably the most critical factor in teaching children about security and love -- and happiness.
How many straight couples who hate each other pass that role model of marriage on to their children?
Better for a child to view the loving, workable, and stable relationship of a long-term gay couple
than of hetero parents who fight incessantly. |

I think that they do and would. To tell the truth i think that most gay people are friendlier and
more flexible in any way shape or form and I'm not saying that couples of the opposite sex do a bad
job i just think that those of the same do it better. |

Wrong wrong Wrong, good parents nurture their children better it does not matter what sex they are. |

This is a bunch of bull,Since the beginning of time every one is created by two,1 man and 1
woman.The day 2men or 2 woman can create a child naturally
then I might think about it.Someone's smoking crack. |

Don't know....where is your evidence for this?
My wife and I are strict with our kids, and give them what they need, not what they want. We give
them attention, but don't dote on them
They are all straight "A" students, and appear well adjusted.
I challenge any gay couple to do better.
In fact, I would observe that kids in school, known to have gay parents, would be subject to torment
and ridicule by their peers....that cannot be a good thing for development / self esteem. |

Well no, because children need both mum and dad to make them grow in a same sex couple there will
only be one sex and that is not enough we were made like dis Mum and Dad because of a reason a man
can offer a child things a female cant and a female can offer a child things a male cant and imagine
the bullying everyone will bully the child because his parent are gay it will mentally hurt the
child and i don't fink its a good idea at all! |

That is a sweeping generalization. Some couples who have children are not great parents at all. Many
couples are great parents. It all boils down to commitment. In my humble opinion the more a couple
are committed the better parents they make.
It could be argued that a higher percentage of same sex couples make better parents. But I feel
that, in any family the children never have a choice.
Pity the children who have bad parents. |

It only matters that you love the child......and you are mature enough to handle being a
parent........PERIOD |

I don't believe there's a difference. There're bastards and bitches among the homosexuals in pretty
much the same proportions as there are bastards and bitches among the heterosexuals.
Yes, kids raised in a gay household will be taught tolerance more often, but so will kids raised in
a bunch of heterosexual household. Yes, having gay parents can open a child to discrimintation from
other kids, but it can relieve the pressures, or reduce the at the least, that come with a child
discovering their sexuality. So really, there's not that much of a difference.
This topic does need to be argued, but it doesn't need to be worded the way you have. It needs to be
worded 'they raise the SAME' and then let people talk it out. That'll prevent me from having to
'side' with the people who think that homosexuals can't raise their kids as well as heterosexuals
can, just because I don't side with the people who say that they can raise them better.
Well, that's my take! Feel free to reply! |

I really don't think that gay parents can raise a child better then heterosexual parents. There is
the fact that the child will be confused as to whether being gay is normal, or not. Usually when
kids grow up with gay parents, they tend to feel as if they should be gay as well. Which really
strips them of their right to choose. |

Sexuality plays no part in someone being a good parent or not. There are several heterosexual males
and females who are worthless parents that produce and raise bastard children that grow up to also
be worthless to society!! |

|

Sexuality plays no part in this particular part of a relationship both hero and homosexual persons
are cable of being good and bad partners and parents. |

No they are loved and/or screwed up pretty much to the same degree. Circumstances may be different
but amount of happiness or disappointed pretty much equals out |

To nurture a child always there needs the love and affection of both the parents as the influence of
both of them are very much important for a child to grow healthily. Opposite gender couples are
always better in such cases because a child always needs to understand the importance of both the
father and mother in a family and the duties and responsibilities played by them individually. Thus
when they grow up they also get the idea as to how to deal with life and how to have a healthy
living. But in cases where couples belong to the same gender, children just only get the influence
of one side and the other side of a family remains unknown to them. Thus they may not get the idea
of life from their parents and they may not have a healthy upbringing. |

I am a Heterosexual myself and we as the Heterosexuals do not do anything different than the
'straight' couples. Well besides we like the same sex |

I disagree with this statement. There is absolutely no proof that same sex parents nurture their
children better than opposite sex parents. They may raise them differently, but that does not mean
that they treat them any better. Every parent nurtures their child in a different way. Some parents
are better than others, but that is not determined by what kind of marriage they are in. The way a
parent nurtures a child will depend on how that parent was raised themselves. It will depend on what
morals and values the parent has. It does not matter rather they are with a same sex partner or an
opposite sex parent. The way they treat their kids will depend on their upbringing and their
education. |

I pretty much disagree.
I don't really have proof other than my own experiences and others.
With male and female, children can learn from a fatherly figure and a motherly figure TOGETHER.
I totally agree with the statement I just said. Ha |

There's no evidence for this.
There aren't the same proportions of same -sex couples to heterosexual ones to be able to draw any
firm conclusions . The ratio is too imbalanced.
There are going to be successes and failure with any relationships were children are involved.
People in general have different skills when it comes to parenting. Some children begin life in a
traditional family setting and then, perhaps due to the break up of their parents relationships,
find themselves in same sex families. Perhaps it would be good to hear what they have to say.
There was a television documentary some time ago about a young girl who was being brought up by two
women partners and she was able to promote a positive image of her life, though there were obvious
problems . What she didn't seem to lack was love.
I think it's too early and there isn't enough feedback to make a balanced judgement on this one yet. |
